: Marty,

: I recently installed this system into a BearMountain Reliance Tandem

: Kayak. The advice I was given by Jerry Lloyd from Seal Line was that the

: pedals need to be approx 2"-3" lower than a set of "normal
: pedals". For

: the couple I built the Tandem for this turned out to be 3" below the
: sheer

: line. As for foot contact the ball of your foot should cotact the bracing

: pedal and your toes should contact the "Toe pilot control". At the
: link

: listed below you can find photos of the installation I did, scroll down

: through the photos until you come to the rudder controls.

Thank you Scott:
This is exactly the info I needed.
The boat you built is absolutely a work of art. I envy your ability and you gave me new heights to reach.
Thanks again and happy paddling.
Marty
